Process design and techno-economic analysis of gas and aqueous phase maleic anhydride production from biomass-derived furfural

[EN] Maleic anhydride is used worldwide for a wide range of applications: from the manufacture of resins to lubricant additives or agricultural chemicals. The current production processes use benzene or butane as raw materials. This work shows the conceptual design of two novel processes using furfu...
